It seem to come and go with out any fanfare at all.But that might have just been me. 6th June is always a day filled with memories for me...and I kind of withdraw into myself a bit. My brother Graham passed away on 6th June, 1998....it's unbelievable to me that 17 years have passed...so quickly.<br /><br />Wonderful photos, Helsie...I've only seen Government House from afar...from the road...we used to live in Toowong and then Torwood...so it was within our reach. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-85027359677488419802015-06-14T14:40:38.074-07:002015-06-14T14:40:38.074-07:00Great selection of photos Helen!
